Benjamin Han, MD, a specialist in geriatrics and addiction medicine, recounts a cautionary tale of an elderly patient who experienced anxiety and heart palpitations after consuming cannabis gummies with a higher THC content than recommended. As older adults increasingly turn to cannabis for chronic pain, insomnia, and mental health issues, concerns about potential harms have emerged, with rising emergency room visits and hospitalizations. Studies in the U.S. and Canada also show climbing rates of cannabis-related healthcare use among older individuals, prompting calls for caution given the potent nature of current cannabis products and the vulnerability of older populations.
